Palomar

Portland, US

The intersection of Miami flair, New Orleans hospitality and Cuban roots comes together at Palomar, where the sound of buzzing blenders helps set the stage for a cocktail menu firmly rooted in the flavours of the tropics. Helmed by cocktail superstar Ricky Gomez (Teardrop Lounge, Cure, Compere Lapin), the child of Cuban immigrants who was born and raised in NOLA, the two-storey space is bright, welcoming and, at times, personal: Gomez’s old family portraits line the upstairs walls, bringing a warm sense of nostalgia to the experience. One of the city’s best Cubano sandwiches is the perfect accompaniment to classic cocktails made skillfully – on the menu, drinks like the Hotel Nacional, Swizzle, El President and Mojito join a collection of perfectly balanced highballs and spiked agua frescas. With super chill, upbeat vibes, the bar offers the perfect laidback escape for those weary of the Pacific Northwest weather.
